WASHINGTON, Nov. 24, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — CFACT, a Washington, D.C.-based public policy organization that is a leading international voice for sound science and climate skepticism, is sending a delegation of science and policy experts to the UN summit on climate change in Paris, COP 21. The summit runs November 30 to December 11.
"Since the collapse of COP 15 in Copenhagen, the UN has been trying desperately to lock the world's nations into a new global warming treaty," says CFACT President David Rothbard. "With the scientific evidence mounting against them, they know this may be their last chance to do so, and bring the U.S. on board while Barack Obama is still President."
President Obama knows a UN treaty will not be ratified by the Senate and is pushing for a non-binding "agreement" that places him at odds with other world leaders. This is one of many crucial sticking points that indicate anything can happen at the summit. CFACT is headed to Paris to present scientific and economic facts that detail what a crushing mistake a UN climate pact would be.
CFACT's delegation will include retired atmospheric scientist Dr. S. Fred Singer, geologist and environmental scientist Dr. Robert Carter, and former Greenpeace co-founder Dr. Patrick Moore.
Marc Morano, publisher of CFACT's ClimateDepot.com, one of the most visited and influential climate news and information services on the Internet, will also be part of CFACT's Paris lineup. He served as communications director for the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and has worked in television, radio and print journalism.

Gamla bankhuset i Umeå är en gulfärgad tvåvånings stenbyggnad i nyrenässansstil byggd 1877 på Storgatan 34, vid Tegsbrons norra fäste. På grund av byggnadens rundade hörn har den fått smeknamnet Smörasken.

Byggnaden
Byggnaden är uppförd i sten i tidstypisk nyrenässansstil efter ritning från 1877 av Axel Cederberg vid Väg- och vattenbyggnadskåren. Cederberg var vid denna tid stadens tekniske rådgivare. Byggnaden har två våningar och gul fasad. Ursprungligen låg banksal och arbetsrum i bottenvåningen, medan övervåningen var till för bankdirektören och hade en större lägenhet med sex rum samt ett ungkarlsrum.

Historia
Byggnaden uppfördes år 1877 och var då Westerbottens enskilda banks första bankhus. Efter stadsbranden i Umeå 1888 öppnades dock möjligheten att bygga ett nytt bankhus som låg mer centralt och hade ett mer representativt läge. År 1894 flyttade banken verksamheten till det nya bankhuset, nuvarande Handelsbanken vid Rådhusparkens östra sida. Det gamla bankhuset nyttjades under en tid därefter som hyreshus.

Byggnaden har genom åren inhyst olika verksamheter och bland annat fungerat som tillfälligt magasin för Västerbottens museums samlingar 1936–1946, Umeå stadsbibliotek 1936–1954.

Huset är sedan 1980 byggnadsminne, och ägs av Umeå Energi, som 1992 gjorde omfattande restaureringar i byggnaden.

'HEARTBROKEN'
Tommy Fury reveals why he had to withdraw from Jake Paul bout after suffering from broken rib and chest infection
Joshua Jones
6:59, 7 Dec 2021
TOMMY FURY has spoken of his heartbreak at having to withdraw from his much-hyped bout versus Jake Paul.
The Love Island star has not been able to shake off a broken rib as well as a chest infection.
He revealed the two health issues he's been battlingCredit: Instagram @tommyfury
And it means his mega showdown with YouTuber Paul - scheduled for December 18 in Tampa, Florida - is off.
But TNT insisted he still plans to fight, and beat, his American rival in 2022.
Fury said: "I am absolutely heartbroken that I have been forced to withdraw from my fight with Jake Paul due to a bacterial chest infection and broken rib.
"The beginning of my camp was going so incredibly and I never expected anything to come in my way from a victory on December 18.
"I can't express now disappointed I am and I really do hope we can get this fight rescheduled in the new year.
"I want this fight to happen more than anything.
"I'm now regretfully putting my focus on recovery and a further reschedule date."
Fury's promoter Frank Warren added: "We are gutted for Tommy.
"This was a big opportunity for him to show the world what he can do.
"Unfortunately, he's had to withdraw now as he's clearly not anywhere near a hundred per cent.
"We'll be working with Jake Paul's team to see if we can reschedule for the new year."
REPLACEMENT ALREADY FOUND
Paul will instead fight Tyron Woodley in a rematch of their August bout - with the ex-UFC star already in training and offered an extra $500,000 [£377,000] if he secures a revenge knockout.
The Problem Child blasted on Twitter: "It is official, Tommy Fury is boxing's biggest b***h.
"I couldn't believe the news at first, it still doesn't even seem real. He fumbled the biggest bag of his life.
"Now he will be watching at home, paying me $60 instead of getting paid millions of dollars to fight me.
"I've fought with a broken nose, I've fought sick, get the f*** over it - this is boxing."

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Warships from Russia's Black Sea Fleet have taken up position off Crimea's western coastline to help strengthen the peninsula's air defenses in response to the start of Ukrainian missile tests nearby, the RIA news agency reported on Thursday.
Kiev began two days of missile tests on Thursday, angering Russia, which has put its air defense forces on high alert saying it hopes the war games won't disrupt international flights.
"Warships of the Black Sea Fleet ... have taken up positions near Crimea's western coast for the duration of Ukraine's planned missile tests from Dec. 1-2," a military source in Crimea told RIA.
Vladimir Krizhanovsky, a Ukrainian military official, earlier on Thursday told the 112 TV channel that the exercises had begun and that everything was going smoothly.
"The tests are being carried out in accordance with international law," said Krizhanovsky. He said they were taking place at least 30 kilometers (18.64 miles) from Crimean air space. "Therefore it would be wrong to reproach Ukraine," he said.
Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine in 2014.


Now that you have an understanding of the core components of a call center solution, and you know where the various types of call centers platforms live, let's take a look at the individual call center software components and what they do.
An ACD manages and distributes the flow of incoming contacts and support requests based on things like caller ID and other business or routing rules. In a multichannel environment (where customers can access your support function from various different channels), the ACD comes with a universal queue that handles and distributes a combination of interactions.
Call recording captures audio and text-based interactions between customers/agents as well as agents/agents. In addition to recording interactions, the software also encrypts files for security purposes and intelligently stores them for easy playback. Call recording is important for tracking service levels, monitoring agent performance, and regulatory compliance.
A CRM system tracks each customer's relationship and interactions with your company. A full CRM suite tracks and end-to-end customer experience including all interactions with customer support, sales, marketing, social media, storefronts, branches, the back office, partners, etc. The more robust your CRM system, the better picture you'll have of your customer.
Since a full CRM suite requires integration with a host of back-end enterprise services, most cloud contact center vendors offer plug-and-play integration with common CRM applications such as Salesforce.com. Vendors also support universal APIs to help customers integrate with legacy and proprietary CRM systems. Some also provide integration services.
And IVR solution greets callers and captures customer data that is used to automate the handling of inbound and outbound calls. The information that's collected gets routed to the CRM application and the ACD and is used to assist with call routing decisions.
Workforce management applications help contact centers optimize productivity for both agents and the organization. WFM solutions track customer demand, identify which agents can best handle it, and provide tools to manage unexpected changes in demand and or staffing dynamically.
Quality management programs measure how well agents adhere to policies and procedures. They're used in tandem with live-monitoring of calls, as well as reviewing recorded calls to measure agent performance. QM solutions measure quality and consistency of service delivery. They also capture customer insights, help identify trends, issues, and opportunities to improve agent productivity.
Speech analytics applications take phone conversations and convert them into data that can either be analyzed by call center managers or used to maintain compliance. These particular applications help organizations understand customer insights, discover why people call, and what customers think about a company and the quality of their experience.
Thanks! Now let's understand what Interactive Voice Response (IVR) is.


Our Department of Education have had the foresight to acknowledge the support schools require when aiming to leverage learning through the use of digital technologies. In my new role as a Blended Learning Leader our team have the privilege of being able to provide this support to schools.
Now that the official end of our previous LMS has come to pass we will be sinking our teeth into using Canvas as a tool to enhance what we already do really well. Last term we spent a lot of time out in schools demonstrating how to use Canvas and highlighting some of the potential it has for teaching and learning.
The new school year is about to start and I am keen to see how Canvas will be used in our schools. I am genuinely excited about the support we can provide and networks we can help build while keeping in mind Creating a purpose and Don't be a slave to your LMS. Make it work for you.
How have other coaches reached out to schools?
What sorts of support have you provided?
What cool projects have you come across?
Wise words. Cart before the horse!
Nice little post Bobby Pedersen, and thanks for the mention!
Seems like such a simple concept, but I think too many miss it altogether. I hope you have sparked others to join in this discussion!
Help me to spark Kelley. I'm very keen to hear stories others have to tell.
This jumped out at me. "The trick with blended learning is it takes practice to engage students and allow them to be creative."
So too with our wonderful, patient, creative, and busy teachers - it takes practice, and time. And support.
Even though we've been using Canvas for 5+ years, this semester was the first time we've required all adjunct (part time) faculty use Canvas. In general most of our adjuncts were already using Canvas so the ones who weren't and needed to get trained were not the most happy or excited to be doing so. And in one case the Instructor was downright mad - he flat out told me to my face that he didn't like Canvas, his students didn't like Canvas, and it wasn't good for teaching or learning.
So... how do you turn that around? You make sure (at least in my case) that they know that you aren't there to change what is working for them or make their life harder, you're there to support them and make their life easier. I provided real life examples of other Instructors in similar fields of study and how it was working for them and meeting their needs and their students needs. I made sure that the training was easily accessible and appropriate for their specific needs. We called it "Canvas Basic" and it covered a general Canvas overview, gradebook, and syllabus. And the biggest thing, was making sure that they understood I don't believe in using technology for the sake of using technology. It needs to serve a need.
Excellent example thanks Kona. And some great pearls of wisdom.
Like Kona Jones, I work at a technical college. Our school is proud of the fact that it offers hands-on training in a real world environment, and uses that in promotional activities. Our program faculty come from industry, and they are equally proud that they teach in a hands-on environment. Unlike Kona, mine is an older story.
I was actually hired to grow online learning at our school, the refrain I heard most from our program faculty was that their were hands-on programs, and they clarified with things like, "I don't want my car repaired by someone who learned automotive technology online!" , "I don't want no nurse taking care of my dear old sainted mother by someone who learned online!" I think that most were surprised to hear that I agreed with them. In fact, the byline on my emails has read, "Perhaps not all courses can be taught online, but all courses can benefit from an online presence!" That is my philosophy, and I'm sticking to it.
So, yes they were correct and what they really wanted to do was provide their students with hands on training! And what I wanted to do was to show them how Canvas could be used to increase the time available for hands-on teaching rather than becoming a substitute for that hands-on training!
What I pointed out to our technical and professional program faculty is that all technical/professional fields require a significant "body of knowledge" that must be mastered along with the technical skills of that profession. By placing learning content for that body of knowledge online and available 24/7, their students could study that content over and over again as much as necessary and at time most convenient for them, then come into the physical classroom more prepared for the hands-on activities. And since the faculty did not need to spend hours each week lecturing about stuff because they could record those lectures, they also had more time to lead those hands-on activities.
So I showed them how the LMS could work for them and their students, instead of them and their students working for the LMS.
Even if sometimes having the horse before the cart can have it's advantages, especially if the horse is particularly gassy!
Thanks Kelley nice hands on example. Saving time has got to be a selling point there also.
Gassy horse reference just for you.
Great post and loved reading the string of comments. Care always needed by anyone with a strategic role in developing digital learning to keep the evangelism in check!
Whilst I agree with comments by Bobby Pedersen and Kelley L. Meeusen , I have to confess to falling into the "This is what this tech can do for you" or with "You can do this with this tech" on more than one occasion (the digital zealot in me!) and will probably do so in future. It is sometimes very hard with such fantastic tools around..
The approach headlined by Bobby (and others) of having a discussion with that member of staff, asking questions about current practice, listening to their answers and giving them ownership of potential change is critical in establishing effective and long lasting foundations. It is important to appreciate that no two departments/faculties as regards their aspirations and the digital confidence/competence of those staff working within. It therefor vital to give staff a flexible framework to work to rather than imposing a one size fits all.
This present huge challenges for the person co-ordinating the process and Kona Jones great post highlighted situations that are often all too familiar.
Brilliant! And thanks for the giggle Gideon Williams!
Re: Where is the "help"?
Re: Can you share when you have had a fail with Canvas and how you learned from that?
What challenges did you face with using/implementing Canvas from a public (government) school perspective?

Interview: Taycan a look at the Porsche Mission E
We talk to Porsche Australia's head of product and smart mobility
The Porsche Mission E concept recently made its Southern Hemisphere debut in Sydney. Anthony Crawford was there to talk to Ingo Appel, Head of Product and Smart Mobility at Porsche Australia.
AC: CarAdvice is down here at Barangaroo today with Ingo Appel. He is head of product and smart mobility at Porsche Australia, and we are standing in front of the Mission E concept, because this is Porsche's future lab pop-up. Tell us what it's all about.
IA: Yeah, the future lab pop-up. Obviously super happy to have the Mission E concept car here – it's literally the opportunity for Porsche to showcase its newest technology.
Obviously the Mission E car concept car is definitely one of those electrifications going forward, and we're really happy to have actually this car here for the first time in the Southern Hemisphere.
You've already announced Porsche's first electric car, the Taycan. Does it look anything like the Mission E concept?
Even if I could answer that question, I literally don't know! We hope obviously that a lot of those design features we will find again in the production car, the Taycan.
Nevertheless everything, or most of the things, from the technical side of things with the concept car we will find in the Taycan [including] 800V technology, performance figures that were quoted, 600 horsepower.
It's definitely, definitely a sports car, there's no doubt about that. Under 3.5 seconds zero to 100, it will be a four door, four individual seats, gives you flexibility, good day-to-day usage. But it will definitely be a sports car.
We don't know price, but we do know charge time. Tell us about the charging situation.
So charging times, based on the 800V technology, future customers will be able to charge the Taycan to 80 per cent of battery capacity in under 20 minutes. Range is around 500 kilometres, according to NEDC, so that's quite a bit of way to go in a nice Taycan.
So you think someone coming out of a 911 will be satisfied with their new Porsche?
Obviously 911, you mentioned is a very traditional, great car. There might be current 911 owners that might be interested in the new technology that's part of the Taycan.
There might be some who prefer their internal combustion sounds, and we will see. We expect we will have some existing customers, quite a few existing customers. It might not be like a changeover, it might be like an additional car in the driveway, and we expect also to find quite a few new customers as part of Taycan.
So as a first indication of an expression of interest is very good, we are very happy with the results, and we obviously track this development going forward to give us a little bit of an idea of what the Australian market – in regards to Taycan – wants, and what we can expect.
When is Australia getting the Taycan?
The Taycan we will see in Australia in 2020. So hopefully towards the beginning of 2020, that's what we hope for.
This is just the start of Porsche's entry into the world of EVs – and it will ramp up dramatically, won't it – in the next decade?
It's very likely to ramp up, obviously it's too early to say what might come next, but in 10 years the Porsche world, it's probably fair to say will look different to today.
I hope the 911 is still around.
I hope so too.

It's pretty much indisputable that Marvel owns the movie theaters and has owned them since Spider-Man and Iron Man and The Avengers effectively erased the embarrassments of the past (I'm looking at you Fantastic Four and also at you Fantastic Four, and you're not out of the woods, either, Fantastic Four). But they have stumbled (in my opinion) on the small screen.
I don't think anyone was more excited about the Agents of Shield than I was and yet I could barely make it through the first season and bailed out half way through the second. Agent Carter was interesting but little more than an anomaly that could best be summed up as Mad Men meets The Avengers.
Gotham is another thing entirely. As a matter of fact, it may be its own prototype, the thing that creates a new genre. Before I sing its praises, I have to admit that I bailed on this show four episodes into its first season. I got what they were up to but it just didn't hook me. It wasn't until the umpteenth friend implored me to give it a second chance that I sat down this last weekend and binged it. Now I'm hooked.
I've been hooked on The Flash since the beginning but mostly because I like a show that doesn't pretend it's not what it really is. The Flash is a silly comic book and this is a silly show based on a silly super hero.
But, I've wandered off the path again. This show's characters and tragic story arc are expertly written and the actors are all working at the top of their game. I have quibbles (the actor who plays his imprisoned dad sure shuffled off to Buffalo in a hurry after his son sacrificed everything to get him out of prison, but I figure the actor had an offer from another series) but overall this has turned into an enjoyable show featuring characters with whom I've been able to make that all important emotional connection that's missing with Marvel's TV offerings.
With the exception of Jarvis on Agent Carter. The actor and the character, both gems, were just not enough to save an otherwise two dimensional show.
I was a strictly Marvel comics kid (with the exception of Batman the TV Series when I was excusably young) so I don't know much about the world of Gotham or The Flash but that's fine as long as I'm willing to invest the time to learn. Both of these shows make that an enjoyable prospect.
The 1970s and 80s were filled with enough awful superhero TV shows (The Flash, Spider-Man, Wonder Woman, etc.) that I swore off them forever. It wasn't until I sat down and binged the first five seasons of Smallville (long after it had gone off the air) that I began to have hope.
Now, the key to Smallville was that they started off with the idea that he would never don the suit and would never leave the ground, at least not without an airplane. This forced them to focus more on character development and relationships than superhero antics. It was a good show that marred its legacy by running at least five seasons too long. I dropped off after the five and left perfectly satisfied.
But again, that's another example of a DC property that translated perfectly well to the small screen but not to the big one. How many times are they going to try to reboot Superman The Movie?
And just to head off static about the DC show I haven't talked about: I get the giggles when I see anyone with a bow and arrow. Whether it's Green Arrow, Hawkeye or even Jennifer Lawrence, I just can't get serious about it.
As a matter of fact, the last time I saw a movie with a bow and arrow in it that I thought was cool was The Professionals.

Fosters storm shelter receives funding from commission
By Ed Enoch Staff Writer
The Tuscaloosa County Commission voted Wednesday to cover any budget shortfalls for a project to build a storm shelter in Fosters using District 4 recreational property funds.
The proposed shelter, which could house 330 during severe weather, would be located on the campus of Myrtlewood Elementary School. The current budget for the storm shelter is $1 million, but, so far, the available local and federal funding for the project is about $750,000.
The commission voted 3-2, with Chairman Rob Robertson casting the tiebreaking vote for the plan to cover any shortfall with District 4 funds set aside for park property acquisition. District 2 Commissioner Jerry Tingle voted with District 4 Commissioner Reginald Murray. Commissioners Stan Acker and Mark Nelson were the dissenting votes.
"Prayers have been answered," Murray said after the vote.
The county has a $450,000 grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency for the project through a hazard mitigation grant program. Murray previously pledged $150,000 from his discretionary funds for the project. The county has also pledged $150,000 from its general fund.
The commission accepted a low bid from Hall Taylor Construction Co. in May 2018, but construction costs were higher than originally planned. The federal grant was originally awarded to cover 75 percent of the cost, but after delays only covers about 45 percent of the cost of the shelter project.
Murray made the motion to cover any remaining budget shortfall with money from his district's recreational property fund. About $700,000 was available in the fund, according to Finance Director Bill Lamb.
The county has asked the Alabama Emergency Management Agency if additional federal funding is available through hazard mitigation program it administers. Any additional federal funding that is secured would be used to reimburse the district's fund.
The county has yet to hear from the state, and it is unclear how much additional funding may be available. There are typically funds left over in federal disaster allocations, and the state will often consider cost overruns on completed projects as a way to avoid returning the unused funds to the federal government, according to the county Planning Director Farrington Snipes.
"The funding issue, I think we have a satisfactory solution. It is all pending an acceptable agreement at this point," Robertson said.
The project remains contingent on the approval of an agreement with the Tuscaloosa County Board of Education for the operation and maintenance of the shelter.
The current draft agreement would have the county transfer ownership of the shelter to the system after its construction. The shelter would be maintained by the system but operated with assistance from the county and the local volunteer fire department. The shelter would be used exclusively by Myrtlewood occupants when school is in session and students are present. It would be open to the community when the school is not in session.
The commission authorized the county attorney to finalize a draft of the agreement with the school board and bring it back to the commissioners at the next meeting.
"The one that is really giving us heartburn is operation," County Attorney Robert Spence said.
The current draft indicates the fire chief of the Fosters-Ralph volunteer fire department would serve as the safe room manager, with the school principal serving as the building manager and staff from the Sheriff's Office helping with traffic and other tasks during activation.
Robertson said it's important for the community partners to be on board with the project.
"We run into this situation where shelter operations are not a simple thing," Robertson said.
The concern is about the county staff being responsible for opening the shelter in a severe weather event. Spence expects that the final agreement won't be substantially different from the draft, but it will clarify the operation of the shelter.
Murray said the volunteer fire department has been supportive of the project throughout the process.
The lack of an agreement with the school board and the budget shortfall have delayed the project in recent years.
Murray has been lobbying for the shelter's construction, though other commissioners and county staff have been hesitant to move forward, citing the funding gap and reservations about the lack of an agreement.
"Every time, we get bad weather, my phone jumps off the hook with folks who are in manufactured homes wanting a place to go. It is a very important project for the community, much-needed project," Murray said.
Ahead of the vote, Acker again raised concerns about the lack of an agreement and guidance on the operation of the shelter. Acker argued the county needed to have a clear operating agreement before proceeding.
"When we don't have it clearly spelled out in the operation agreement, it creates problems with the citizens you are trying to help," Acker said, referencing existing shelters in the county.
Murray replied the county could work to resolve the existing issues, but that shouldn't delay work on the Fosters project.
"We don't need to hold up one shelter because there are problems with the other ones," Murray said.
Nelson explained his vote as a preference for the use of smaller community shelter rooms, which are located in other parts of the county, and reservations about building shelters on school property.
"I have a hard time doing that at schools. We don't have the funds to do that at all our schools," Nelson said.

Mashed Red Potatoes are delicious enough to serve as a holiday side dish, but easy enough to make on a busy weeknight. Lightly salty and rich with olive oil, butter and garlic, you'll want to serve these potatoes with everything!
Whether I'm making this Mashed Red Potatoes recipe or traditional mashed potatoes, I've learned one important trick: steam the potatoes, don't boil them. When you steam potatoes, there's no need to worry about the potatoes becoming overcooked or water logged as they can when you boil them.
I love to serve these potatoes (when I'm not making Twice Baked Potatoes or Cheesy Potatoes) with everything from Turkey Meatloaf and Roasted Lamb Chops to Duck Confit during the year and alongside Turkey Roulade for our Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners.
And if you love potatoes like I do, don't miss these Breakfast Potatoes or these Skillet Potatoes – both are impossibly crispy because of an unusual technique!
Step 1: Steam cubes of red potato until very tender.
Step 2: Cook and stir garlic in melted butter then stir in salt and olive oil.
Step 3: Pour olive oil mixture over tender red potato cubes in a large bowl and mash to desired consistency. Serve!
Place raw red potato cubes in a large steamer basket over boiling water. Cover and steam until very tender, 25 to 30 minutes.
When potatoes are nearly tender, melt butter in a small saucepan. Add garlic; cook and stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add salt and olive oil; stir until just heated through. Remove from heat.
Transfer tender potatoes to a large bowl. Pour olive oil mixture over and mash with a potato masher to desired consistency. Serve.
If you're not a fan of olive oil in these mashed red potatoes, no problem! Just increase the butter to 10 tablespoons and skip the olive oil. Likewise, if you want to use just olive oil for a vegan version, use 10 tablespoons of olive oil (1/2 cup + 2 tablespoons) and skip the butter.
Omgeeeee!!! I will definitely be preparing these tonight with my Mexican meatloaf, thank you so much for sharing this looks so yummy!!!
Perfect combination. Thank you, Lupe!
Your potatoes certainly do look good. I've got red potatoes that I was going to make this evening so I'll be trying your version.
I love to hear that, Karen. Thank you!
This post gives me all the feels! As does the video! I love smashed red potatoes – and yours are the best!!
Gosh these smashed potatoes look so rich with all the butter and olive oil. I am super tempted to make these in my kitchen.
I hope you do, Neha! Thank you.
This looks better than anything you can get at a restaurant!! I love the bits of potato peel in there – and just perfect with a little pat of butter 🙂 YUM!
Thank you, Katherine! Don't you love the peels on new potatoes – I love the texture they add!
haha, thank you so much Dawn!
Thanks, Kevin! It's so nice to not have to worry about waterlogged potatoes!
If you're hungry, then I've done my job, haha! Thank you, David!
I've never had Japanese potato salad! Off to research… thank you, my friend!
I don't have the words to tell you just how much I love potatoes. Especially mashed! Or smashed :). These look fabulous and I'm totally going to steam my potatoes next time I make them. Awesome tip! Have a great weekend, Marissa!
I love potatos and (especially in a mashed form), and I can literally eat a huge bawl (And this is the reason I try to stay away from it as much as possible). This one, with garlic, butter, and olive oil, is irresistibly delicious.
haha, thank you so much Ben!

Q: Run two commands with a crontab I have a quick question. I need to add a cron to my debain crontab using an automated shell script and I need the cron to do two things:

*

*cd into /etc/application

*run the command "scrapy crawl"

crontab -l | { /bin/cat; /bin/echo "* 3 * * * cd /etc/application"; }
  | crontab -

How do I get it to also run the scrapy crawl command?

A: You can have multiple commands in a single crontab line. Just separate them with semicolons:
crontab -l | { /bin/cat; /bin/echo "* 3 * * * cd /etc/application ; scrapy crawl"; } | crontab -

Comparing DC Comics and Marvel Chronicles
Post author:David Norman
Post category:comic book stuff
DC Comics Year By Year: A Visual Chronicle (2012 edition; first published 2010)
Marvel Chronicle: A Year By Year History (2011 edition; first published 2008)
Both 352 pages, both published by DK; DC book: 22 cm × 26 cm; Marvel book: 26 cm × 30.5 cm
The COVID-19 pandemic has provided the time to consider all sorts of odd notions, such as the differences between DC and Marvel by comparing the two coffe-table books covering their publishing history and see which one wins. Reading two 352-page books and taking notes is not something I would have done outside of a lockdown …
Let's start with some basics: the Marvel book is the larger by width and breadth, which gets a bonus point to start with because it means that the font size on the interior pages is more legible – the font size is too small in the text accompanying each individual entry about a comic book or character. I know it's about the pretty pictures, but some people like to read the words as well. The Marvel book has a great cover by Jim Cheung with lots of Marvel characters, whereas the DC book has a beautiful Ryan Sook cover of Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman – can't call this because they're both great. Marvel loses a point by omitting the hyphens in the phrase 'A Year by Year History' (the title for DC does not need them, grammar fans), so we're back to equal footing already.
Because the books are both from the same publisher (although not the same editors or designers), they are laid out in the same fashion. Each has a foreword from a former publisher (Stan Lee for Marvel, Paul Levitz for DC), an introduction (Tom DeFalco for Marvel, unnamed for DC), and then each section is a decade, with each year taken in turn: there is an introductory/overview text to the year, and then specific comics for that year are picked, with the cover or interior art and text about the particular issue. There is also some call-out text given historical perspective by highlighting other things happening in the world in the same year (Marvel has a large block ['Meanwhile, in …'] on the right-hand page of the final entry, whereas DC ['In the real world'] has a smaller block along the bottom of the page, which is less intrusive). According to the contents page, writers for Marvel are former Editors-in-Chief Tom DeFalco and Tom Breevort, long-time writer about Marvel, Peter Sanderson, and Matthew K Manning (who also writes for the DC book); writers for DC are unfamiliar names (Alan Cowsill, Alex Irvine, Michael McAvennie, Daniel Wallace).
Bizarre coincidence: in the introductions for both books, there is the mention that the cover date of comic books was deliberately out by three months (e.g. a book with the cover date of September would go on sale in June) because it was an instruction to the person who sold them at the newsstand that it was time to take the book off the stand and return it to the company.
Marvel Chronicle: A Year by Year History
Marvel starts in 1939 with Marvel Comics #1 (at Timely Publications), with Namor and the original Human Torch, plus two pages of Bill Everett's moody art. Each year then has a month or season associated with a book of note, be it a first issue or a character makes a first appearance (e.g. March 1941, Captain America Comics #1). The information is factual but there is some corporate massaging, e.g. 'when Editor-in-Chief Joe Simon and artist Jack Kirby left timely in late 1941, the only person left on staff to step up to the job of Editor-in-Chief was Stan Lee' – if you've read Sean Howe's excellent Marvel Comics: The Untold Story, you know that it is not how events occurred …
The book does a good job of showing the diversity of books being published (Animated Movie-Tunes, Millie the Model, Patsy Walker, Two-Gun Kid, My Romance), telling you when they started but also some when cancelled. The range leading into the 1950s was broad (Westerns, humour, military, adventure, crime, romance), and it talks about Seduction of the Innocent by Frederic Wertham. There is also honesty, informing us that Marvel screwed freelancers on page rates in 1956, so most left for the advertising industry, and even more left in 1957 when the distributor closed down, imperilling Atlas Comics (as it was known then).
The biggest and most important section for Marvel is the 1960s, which is clearly warranted – there are now more than two pages per year because there is so much to discuss: November 1961, Fantastic Four #1; January 1962, Ant-Man in Tales to Astonish #27; May 1962, The Incredible Hulk #1; August 1962, Amazing Fantasy #15 (first appearance of Spider-Man) and Journey Into Mystery #83 (Thor); March 1963, Iron Man starts in Tales of Suspense #34; May 1963 sees the company change name to Marvel Comics; July 1963, Doctor Strange in Strange Tales #10; September 1963, The Avengers #1 and The X-Men #1. Other major characters are launched in this time (Scarlet Witch, Quicksilver, Black Widow, Hawkeye), so there's a lot to pack in.
Annoyance: the text on scans of interior pages that are reproduced here, be it small next to the explanatory text or large in the double-page spreads, has been replaced with new text in an electronic font (e.g. p214 has an X-Men page from issue 137 where it is clearly not the work of Tom Orzechowski), which is really noticeable and detracting.
There is a good blend of historical information about the books but also behind the scenes, so 1968 talks about Marvel being able to produce more books (the distributor was owned by DC Comics, so had a severe limit, hence the number of split books), so Tales of Suspense #99 goes to Captain America #100, Tales to Astonish #101 goes to Incredible Hulk #102 and Strange Tales #168 leads to Dr. Strange #169. There is also the technically accurate but not the complete story of the line 'Kirby left Marvel for DC Comics' in 1970, and 1972 reveals that the reason for the horror books suddenly launched (Tomb of Dracula, Werewolf by Night, Man-Thing) was an update to the Comics Code, and a note about Stan Lee promoted to publisher and Roy Thomas to Editor-in-Chief.
However, there are some strange choices for inclusions of characters and their debuts – Miracle Man, Tyrannus, Hate-Monger, Princess Ravona, the Grim Reaper, Mangog, Qnax? Really?
The interesting thing is having a calendar of historically important dates in Marvel comics, such as March 1974 is the arrival of the Punisher and November 1974 is the arrival of Wolverine, with Giant-Size X-Men #1 in May 1975. It brings an external perspective that having the knowledge doesn't always do.
The 1980s is an important section, not only because it's the most dear to me in my historical comic-book journey, but also the changes that were happening to the medium, seeing Frank Miller on Daredevil, the introduction of the New Mutants, Beta Ray Bill, the black Spider-Man costume, Marvel Super Heroes Secret Wars, Power Pack, X-Factor, the New Universe and all the rest.
The 1990s is weirder – I had moved away from being a fanboy of various Marvel titles and discovered Vertigo – and the selections are an interesting mix of the strangeness of the speculator boom and crash plus the darkness of comic books in general and the bankruptcy of Marvel in 1996. This means we get the bizarre inclusion of Ravage 2099 #1 by Stan Lee (a truly dreadful comic book) and Spider-Man 2099 (an excellent series by Peter David and Rick Leonardi); 1994 talks about the brilliant Marvels by Kurt Busiek and Alex Ross but also the Clone Saga and Scarlet Spider in the Spider-Man books; 1995 has Age of Apocalypse and the death of Aunt May, but also mentions Druid and Ruins by Warren Ellis; there are later mentions for Thunderbolts #1 (best final-page reveal ever) and the Marvel Knights imprint.
Things become interesting again in the 2000s, as Bill Jemas becomes President of Marvel Comics and Joe Quesada becomes Editor-in-Chief, and we get the Ultimate imprint, Garth Ennis on The Punisher, Brian Michael Bendis on Daredevil and Alias, Grant Morrison on The New X-Men, Peter Milligan on X-Force, The Ultimates becomes the template for the MCU, Brian K Vaughan on Runaways, JLA/Avengers, 1602, Avengers Disassembled, Ed Brubaker on Captain America, so it's shame the edition I have is only up to 2008. I don't know if I'll buy the continually updated versions, but I am curious to see if they are in the library so that I can read the subsequent years.
DC Comics Year by Year: A Visual Chronicle
DC Comics has a lot more to cover, not just because it started in 1935 as National Allied Publishing, but because it's got a lot of history within the books as well – Marvel as people know it didn't get going until the 1960s; DC Comics was there at the beginning and started things going. It also includes the important history of the company as an entity – founded by Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson to launch Detective Comics in 1937, but forced out by end of the year by the distributor (Harry Donenfeld) and Donenfeld's business advisor (Jack Liebowitz), who took over the assets of the company. The business of comic books was already one of originators getting screwed over …
There is so much so quickly: Superman in Action Comics #1, Batman in Detective Comics #27 (a good use of the double-page spread is the origin of Batman, from Detective Comics #33, the nine panels that go from the death of the Waynes to the bat breaking through the window), Flash Comics #1, the Spectre in More Fun Comics #2, Robin in Detective Comics #38, Green Lantern in All-American Comics #16, the JSA in All Star Comics #3, Aquaman, Starman, Green Arrow in 1941, Wonder Woman in Sensation Comics #1 in 1942. There is even a mention for the debut of Captain Marvel in Whiz Comics #2, published by Fawcett, in 1940 (which seems a little harsh seeing that DC Comics would sue Fawcett until closure in the 1950s before DC picked up the rights to the character later on). There's barely time to take a breath.
The post-war years at DC were interesting, as superheroes decreased in popularity and humour, romance, Western, sci-fi and celebrity-licensed comics took over (despite the George Reeves-starring Superman in 1951), even before Seduction of the Innocent in 1954. Then the second wind starts, as the Silver Age begins in 1956 with the Barry Allen Flash in Showcase #4, then the Challengers of the Unknown in 1957, the Legion of Super-Heroes, Adam Strange and Bizarro in 1958, Hal Jordan as Green Lantern, Supergirl, Kid Flash, Sgt Rock in 1959, the JLA in 1960 (in The Brave and the Bold #28) and the start of the multiverse in The Flash #123.
[An aside: the covers for DC Comics' books in the 1960s are so static compared with those at Marvel …]
The DC Comics book has a broader scope and includes some interesting historical mentions. Jim Shooter's first story in Adventure Comics #346, at the age of 14 years old, is highlighted (perhaps more positively than Shooter's tenure as Editor-in-Chief at Marvel Comics). Blue Beetle #1 at Charlton Comics, featuring Blue Beetle and the Question, is included for historical perspective (DC Comics wouldn't acquire the rights until the 1980s). Brother Power, The Geek #1 is included; Wonder Woman #178 (the reboot of Wonder Woman that depowered her and saw her tutored by I Ching, lasting for 5 years) is pointed out, which is something that could have been glossed over; the 'Hard-travelling Heroes' of Green Lantern/Green Arrow #76 is highlighted, as is the 'Kirby is here!' on Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen #133 in 1970. The book talks about the infamous DC Comics Implosion in 1978, where 31 titles were cancelled by the end of the year, despite that being the year of Superman: The Movie. The first official limited series, World of Krypton #1, is documented, as well as the first maxi-series, Camelot 3000 in 1982; even Ambush Bug's first appearance in DC Comics Presents #52 warrants an entry.
As with the Marvel book, the 1980s is of interest from a historical perspective, but DC Comics has a bigger claim to the effect on the medium. Alan Moore writing Swamp Thing in 1984; Crisis on Infinite Earths in 1985; 1986, to quote the book, 'many consider the greatest year in comics', has to pack in Batman: The Dark Knight #1, Watchmen #1, Man of Steel #1 (as well as Blue Beetle #1, Booster Gold #1 and Heroes Against Hunger #1). An aside: on p224, the double-page spread is the full-page spread from Watchmen #12 showing lots of dead people – is that really the best choice here? Then 1987 has to make do with Batman: Year One, Wonder Woman #1, Superman #1, Justice League #1, The Question #1, Suicide Squad #1; while 1988 has Hellblazer #1, Batman: The Killing Joke, Animal Man #1 (Grant Morrison) and the Death in the Family storyline that killed of the Jason Todd Robin, a section that talks about the phone number vote to decide whether he lived or died (p236 has an interior page from the book with the phone numbers for the vote). Then, 1989 finishes a very busy decade with mention of the Batman film, The Sandman #1, Doom Patrol #19 (Morrison), Batman: Arkham Asylum, the 'Five years later' reboot of the Legion of Super Heroes and Batman: Gotham by Gaslight.
Also of equal importance is the 1990s, with the comic boom, the Death of Superman and Batman: Knightfall, Vertigo (which gets a 'Decade in focus' double-page spread), James Robinson's Starman, Preacher, Kingdom Come, Morrison's JLA and even mentions of Lobo and Alan Davies' JLA: The Nail. It's interesting to see some of the choices in this decade and next, because although DC published books some very ordinary books in large numbers (2007–2010 is not a good selection), there was a lot of very good books that would have a broader impact. Kevin Smith's Green Arrow, Brubaker and Cooke's Catwoman, Fables, Y: The Last Man, Gotham Central, The Losers, RED, JLA/Avengers, Identity Crisis, Ex Machina, WE3, Seven Soldiers of Victory, All-Star Superman, Desolation Jones, Infinite Crisis, 52, Scalped, Final Crisis, Wednesday Comics all get a mention, as does Superman: True Brit by John Cleese and John Byrne for some reason.
It's an interesting overview of the history of DC Comics because it's so wide-ranging, and it is more honestly portrayed (although it doesn't go into the sordid details about Alan Moore's later interactions with the company) and gives a better perspective. This could be due to the involvement of DC Publishing – despite getting former Marvel people involved on the Marvel book, the company doesn't seem to be involved – which also thanks Mark Waid 'for looking over this book with a keen eye', something that brings clarity and detail to what should be included as historically important and not just a hagiography.
I can't decide which book is better. The Marvel book is bigger, whereas the font size in the DC Comics book is too small; the choice of double-page spreads in the DC Comics book is much more interesting and revealing than the more mundane choices in the Marvel book. The historical perspective in the DC Comics book is better, and the Marvel book doesn't include certain things that you might think warrant it, such as the Captain Marvel graphic novel by Jim Starlin where the character died of cancer, and the New Universe is mostly glossed over. All told, I'm just glad I have both books because together they provide a much better view of the history of the mainstream comic-book industry, and I get to ignore any supposed rivalries between the companies and just enjoy their combined output.

In the Foundation Stage at Mulgrave School we aim to provide our children with the best start in life. Working alongside other agencies, we support children by engaging with their parents, carers, extended family and the wider community. Through play, in a safe, caring environment, all our children are encouraged to become creative, confident, independent, lifelong learners.
In the Nursery and Reception classes we follow the Early Years Foundation Stage Curriculum (EYFS), which is especially suited to the needs of young children. There are seven areas of learning and development, which are all inter-connected. The following three prime areas are particularly important for children's capacity to learn and helping them build good relationships with others.

The research aims to determine the extent of the impact of the quality of work life on the career integration of workers in the Hadba University College, where a comprehensive survey method was used for all of the research community, which consisted of (137) individuals from the Hadba University College, as an applied field for the current research, through A questionnaire prepared for this purpose. The research reached a basic result according to the presence of a statistically significant relationship between the quality of work life and job integration for workers in the researched college. The research also showed that the dimensions of the quality of work life are available in the researched college with an acceptable and medium degree, and that the degree of integration of workers in their work was good.
In the light of the conclusions reached by the research, a set of recommendations was presented that are consistent with these conclusions, the most important of which is the need to pay attention to raising the quality of work life in the researched college. In addition to inviting researchers to submit more research related to the current topic of research in different fields.
Quality of Work Life; Career integration


Hi, and welcome to the Rock Reviews website.
I guess that if you've found this page then you must be interested in live music. I hope you will read reviews of more than just the band that brought you to these pages and that my reviews entice you out to see some of them 'in the flesh' at some point.
This is a restored version of the site from a backup that is missing a few sections. These are slowly reappearing, though much of the site is as it was in November 2003.
More photos from recent gigs (It Bites, SAHB, Touchstone, Jump, Galahad, Fish, Wolfstone etc) are listed here.
To help you keep track of the new reviews I suggest checking the site updates page complete with links to new or updated content.
To return to this page click on the Rock Reviews logo. There is also now a links page and a listing by year (with mini review for some years - see bar below) of gigs I have attended.
So far the site covers just a very small percentage of gigs I have been to in the last few years - plus a few that friends have written.
With so many bands possible to review I've kept the layout of the site fairly basic. Everything runs from this page and some things (site updates, gigs by year) are only linked from here. To return to this page simply click on the Rock Reviews logo at the top of a page. To return to a band index page click on the band logo. Simple (I hope).

Location: The hotel is located in the western part of the resort, 15 min away from the center and only 5 min walk to the beach.
Facilities in the Hotel: The complex offers luxury furnished rooms and apartments with one or two bedrooms. Outdoor swimming pool for children and adults, lounges and small tables.
We have been in Bulgaria at the sunny beach, several times before, but we have never came back with that kind of bad feelings, what we still have now.
Most of the issues are coming from the false promises what our tour operator told us (http://www.robinsontours.hu/).
We wanted to relax, and spend a lot of time on the beach.
We have arrived late evening to the apartment house, and the first thing we have noticed, that there are no pavement or even paved road around the building, nor in the area.
One of the air con was broken (they have fixed it in a few days), the cable of the tv was pulled out of the wall (they have also fixed it).
There were 3 spoons, 3 forks, 3 knifes for 5 of us!
The drain in the middle of the bathroom was life-threatening. There was sewage flown from behind the toilet, every time we flushed it.
I would expect a bit more from a 4 start apartment house!
The beach is more than 900 meters from the apartment house. I've measured with gps, and you can easily check it on any kind of online maps.
It's about 15 minutes walk from the beach.
Extremely disappointed in this accommodation and the tour operator who also lied to us.

B&Q is expected to reveal a second-quarter boost from the warm weather next week, helped by shoppers splashing out on barbecues and garden furniture.
The DIY chain is forecast by analysts at Jefferies to post a 1.3% increase in like-for-like sales for the period when its parent company Kingfisher issues a trading update on Thursday.
It would represent a significant bounce back from the 9% decline recorded in the first quarter, when sales were pummelled by the Beast from the East as the retailer was forced to close stores in the face of extreme weather.
Nicholas Hyett, equity analyst at Hargreaves Lansdown, said: "The warm weather may well have whetted the appetite for barbecues and garden furniture sales, so we expect these categories to perform strongly at B&Q owner Kingfisher."
B&Q is also likely to benefit from turmoil at rival Homebase, which is embarking on a large-scale store closure programme under its new owner Hilco.
Sister company Screwfix, Kingfisher's standout performer, is expected to continue a stellar run of form with comparable growth of 6%.
Graham Spooner, investment research analyst at The Share Centre, said: "The market will be interested to see if the recent warm weather has encouraged customers at its B&Q chain to do more DIY activities and buy its products.
"It is certainly in need of some good news after a difficult year, both in the UK and France where sales have continued to struggle.
"The one bright part has been Screwfix, where sales have been resilient, so investors will be watching to see if growth has continued there."
B&Q is in the middle of an overhaul being undertaken by boss Veronique Laury.
It has seen the group shut 65 shops and slash around 3,000 jobs in the UK and Ireland over the last two years.
But Ms Laury has been insistent her turnaround is beginning to bear fruit.
"The company's transformation plan has caused some disruption in recent times and the market will be hoping for some signs that the benefits are coming through," Mr Spooner added.


Give me a D! Give me an A! Give me a D!
What's that spell?!? Well, to Iris, it's actually Baba, the Chinese word for dad.
Yep, folks. He is her hands down favorite. From the moment we met her, she could not take her eyes off him. She kept looking at the hair on his arms and face and just laughing at it. She wants him to carry her, tickle her, throw her around. It's so cute. Second favorite is Emily. And currently, I'm coming in last. She likes me and will do stuff with me, but then she runs over to show Jon or just keeps watching him while we play.
My sister wanted to know if I was jealous and I said NO WAY! Why would I be? Everyone eventually loves their mom. And let's be honest. I'm a little lazy and entertaining a 6 year old in a hotel room isn't easy. I'm totally off the hook.
At one point Jon suggested I fly home early seeing as I'm currently of no use.
We were laughing that she acts like he's her new puppy. All furry and full of fun, without the biting and peeing on your carpet. He's perfect.
Yep, Iris has a new pet.
It would also be obvious why he's staying in #1 position if you would look at our google translate list of saved words. His is full of words like pretty, smart, funny, cute, I love you.
And I also have those words, followed by calm down, do not touch, not nice, please don't do that, quiet down, hold my hand.
She is pushing boundaries without a doubt. I'm sure she didn't spend her orphanage life galavanting around Beijing, but I still think that walking on tables, spitting on the ground, and grabbing things out of adult's hands is something that she is just doing to test our reaction. It's just a theory, but seeing as she doesn't do any of that when our Chinese guide is with us, I believe I'm correct.
After 3 days of this, I think Jon has added calm down to his google translate list.
Off to the Great Wall of China today. It's hot and I haven't been feeling well, so we'll have to see how this goes. It's either a 6 hour walk up uneven stairs, or a gondola ride over 3/4 of the way and only an hour walk up. I'm taking the latter, but then I'm sure that's obvious, as I already stated I am just a little lazy.

Washington, D.C. - The House of Representatives today voted unanimously to send to the President's desk a bipartisan, bicameral bill to reauthorize, support, and strengthen the U.S. Coast Guard and to reauthorize and update the authorities of the Federal Maritime Commission.
The Frank LoBiondo Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2018 (S. 140) authorizes funding for the Coast Guard, one of the Nation's five armed services, through fiscal year 2019 and supports the Service's plans to recapitalize and modernize its assets to carry out its critical missions.
H.R. 2518, the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017, which was also included in the House-passed DHS Authorization Act and the House-passed National Defense Authorization Act.
H.R. 2593, the Federal Maritime Commission Authorization Act of 2017, which was approved by the Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in May of last year.
H.R. 1726, the Coast Guard Improvement and Reform Act of 2017, which was approved by the House in June of last year.
Provisions from S. 1129, the Coast Guard Authorization Act of 2017.
U.S. Rep. Frank LoBiondo (R-NJ), for whom the bill is named, served as the House Subcommittee on Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Chairman or Ranking Member during five previous Congresses. LoBiondo chaired the Subcommittee in the 107th, 108th, 109th, and 112th Congresses, and served as Ranking Member in the 111th Congress.

Террористический акт в дагестанском селе Карабудахкент, расположенном в 30 км к югу от Махачкалы, был совершён 6 марта 2012 года в 22 часа 10 минут по местному времени.

Террористка-смертница подошла к контрольно-заградительному посту полиции, расположенному на окраине села, и попыталась пройти во внутреннее помещение. Когда она была остановлена полицейскими, то привела в действие взрывное устройство, начинённое поражающими металлическими элементами, прикреплённое к её телу.
Сразу же после того, как прогремел взрыв, с противоположной стороны дороги раздались автоматные очереди.

Мощность взрыва составила 2 кг в тротиловом эквиваленте.

Жертвы
В результате теракта погибли пять сотрудников полиции, ещё двое с тяжёлыми ранениями доставлены в больницу.

В числе погибших:
 лейтенант Шамиль Солтанахмедов;
 старшина Руслан Михратов;
 сержант Магомедпазил Исаев;
 младший сержант Джамал Гаджиев;
 рядовой Имам Джанмурзаев.

Погибла и сама террористка: взрывом её разорвало на части, на месте теракта были обнаружены фрагменты её тела; голову злоумышленницы обнаружили в нескольких десятках метров от эпицентра взрыва.

Повреждено здание контрольно-заградительного пункта.

Личность террористки
По данным Следственного управления по Республике Дагестан Следственного комитета России, злоумышленницей являлась Аминат Ибрагимова, 1986 г.р., уроженка селения Хебда. Ибрагимова была вдовой одного из лидеров дагестанского бандподполья Заура Загирова, входившего в формирование Ибрагимхалила Даудова и убитого в ходе спецоперации в селе Гурбуки Карабудахкентского района республики 10 февраля 2012 года.

Родственники опознали погибшую.

Расследование
Следственными органами по факту теракта возбуждено уголовное дело по следующим статьям УК РФ: 317 («Посягательство на жизнь сотрудника правоохранительного органа»), 222 («Незаконный оборот оружия совершенный группой лиц»), 223 («Незаконное изготовление оружия, взрывных устройств») и 167 («Умышленное повреждение чужого имущества общеопасным способом»).

В качестве возможного мотива преступления называется месть за уничтожение И. Даудова.

В рамках расследования назначены экспертизы, включая экспертизу ДНК смертницы с целью точного установления её личности.

Реакция властей
МВД Дагестана выступило с призывом к жителям республики оказывать всемерное содействие в борьбе с терроризмом.

В заявлении отмечается, что только в марте 2012 года от рук террористов погибли 14 жителей Дагестана, из которых 11 — сотрудники правоохранительных органов.

«МВД обращается с просьбой к населению республики: пора остановить эту заразу, проникающую в наши дома, забирающую наших детей для "пушечного мяса". Мы просим вас, будьте бдительны, смотрите за тем, что происходит в ваших семьях, с вашими детьми. Обращайте внимание на тех, кто живет рядом, ваша своевременная информация поможет уберечь жизни многих людей», — говорится в обращении.

Президент Дагестана Магомедсалам Магомедов, осудив теракт, пообещал моральную и материальную поддержку семьям пострадавших.

Who Is 'Rogue One' Director Gareth Edwards? He's Just The Man For The Job
By Kayleigh Hughes
Charley Gallay/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
The Star Wars films have always been defined pretty strongly by their directors. George Lucas himself directed several of them, and the filmmaker of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens, J.J. Abrams, is also a huge name in his own right, known for a few little movies like Armageddon and the Star Trek franchise. However, you might not recognize the name of the fellow at the helm of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. Many viewers may not know who Rogue One director Gareth Edwards is, but rest assured, he's just the right person to bring a new Star Wars tale to life.
Edwards has been in the sci-fi game essentially his whole life. According to his IMDB, he majored in Film & Video at the University for Creative Arts in Farnham, England and worked in visual effects on television shows such as Nova and Heroes and Villains. His first feature film, Monsters, a low-fi science-fiction monster film that he made with a team of just seven people total, was released in 2010 and holds an impressive 72 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. From there, he was able to go bigger, and directed the supersized monster flick Godzilla in 2014.
Now Edwards, it seems, is living a virtual dream come true with Rogue One. In an interview with The Guardian back in 2011, while he was promoting his film Monsters, he went long on a certain sci-fi film, discussing how important the movie was in making him want to become a filmmaker. That film, of course, was Star Wars: A New Hope. Edwards said he watched the movie so many times a kid that "My mum remembers me quoting it word for word on long car journeys. I once did the entire script." He even visited the filming locations in Tunisia for his 30th birthday.
Edwards admitted to The Guardian that after watching the film hundreds of times, he only watches it now "when I need to remind myself of what it is I want to do with my career." He said, "When you get older the world becomes smaller and more repetitive, but A New Hope still feels like magic to me."
It's pretty amazing, then, that Edwards has now gotten to create his very own Star Wars magic with Rogue One. And, according to Edwards, his work as a director has been given a seal of approval by the one and only George Lucas himself. Cinemablend quoted a recent interview where Edwards recalls Lucas's reaction: "I can honestly say that I can die happy now. He really liked the movie, so it meant a lot."
So, there you have it: Edwards is basically the living embodiment of a dream come true. May we all grow up to become the directors of the spinoff franchises our own personal childhood obsessions, metaphorically.
